This document summarizes a study that analyzed the kinship of 10 corn populations in Tidore Islands, North Mollucas Province, Indonesia through morphological characteristics. The study observed 49 morphological traits in the 10 populations and recorded their presence or absence. It found that the populations shared some traits but varied in 42 of the traits. A similarity index analysis grouped the populations into two major clusters based on their similarities and differences in morphological characteristics. The population from Tadupi, Lola, and Koli villages had the highest similarity at 87.21%, nearly matching. The population from Yehu village had the lowest similarity, at 61.17%.

ABSTRACT: The existence of corns is one of the major commodity crops in Indonesia in terms of aspects of
the exploitation and utilization of the products, namely both as food and feed. The opportunities for corn
development in the North Mollucas Province to support national food security are prospective as it is supported
by the availability of extensive dry land as well as the technology. This study aims to determine the differences
in the characters of morphology, similarity index value and clusters (groups) formed in 10 populations of corns
(Zea mays L.) in Tidore Islands of North Mollucas Province. The data were collected through descriptions
technique, phylogeny analysis to 10 corn populations based on the morphological characters, both generative
and vegetative organs. Based on the results of a study to the 10 corn populations, it was found a number of
characters from a population of 49 character traits of the general and special corn plants. This shows that the
morphological characters of the observed corns that some of which are highly related in terms of their fenotips.
In terms of the cluster similarity (group) populations (3, 4, and 8), those corn plants have high similarity, so it is
hard to be differenciated in the level of similarity. The cluster population that has very high similarity index
values are those in the population (3, 4, and 8) with the similarity index value of = 87.21 % obtained from the
Tadupi, Lola, and Koli villages; this population similarity index values is approaching 100 %. Based on the
analysis of the dendogram, it was obtained the widest similarity in cluster population 2 derived from Yehu
village. The similarity index value of this population group is very low, amounting to = 61.17 %.

I. BACKGROUND
A corn (Zea mays L.) is the second carbohydrate food source, just after rice. In addition, the corn has
been used as fodder (feed) as well as for industrial raw materials. The utilization of corns as feed ingredient for
poultry shows the tendency of increasing in every year, with the increase rate of more than 20%. On the other
hand, the utilization of the corns as food ingredients decreases. Unlike with soy, in terms of of self-sufficiency
in corn production actually has been fulfilled here. However, due to the continuing demand so that we should
import it, even though at any certain moment it is exported (Adisarwanto and Widyastuti, 2004).According to
Susanto and Srappa (2005), corn is one of the major commodity crops in Indonesia in terms of both the
exploitation aspect and utilization of the products, namely as food and feed Corn that needs to meet the needs of
both domestic and international emand until 2010 is still very large. The development of corn opportunities in
the North Mollucas Province to support national food security is prospective because as it is supported by the
availability of extensive dry land and the technology.
According to Sembiring (2007), the difference in genetic characterisics is one of the causes of plant
diversity. The other factor such as the conditions of the environment which vary from one place to the others, in
which the plants will need special crtain condition, may also cause the plant or species diversity. Phenotype is
the interaction between the genotype with the environment. This means the amount of the phenotype is partly
determined by the influence of genotype as well as the environment conditions. To determine the role of the
genotype and environment might be calculated through a diversity of the phenotypes in such population.The
quantitative characters controlled by major genes have a major contribution and easily recommended by other
characters in each individual plant. To study the phylogenetic relationship of a population of organisms may be
done by using the marker as a tool for genetic characterization. However, the genetic characterization based on
phenotypic markers is usually influenced by the macro and micro environment, as well as the life of an
individual. Another difficulty in this method would occur if the quantitative character governed by many genes
that are expressed at the end of the growth of certain plants, such as the character of the results. Therefore, the
characterization of the phenotype that needs to be supported by the characterization is conducted through
molecular markers.

Molecular markers may give an accurate picture of similarities between species and other varietas as it
is clearly agreed that the analysis of DNA as the genetic material is not affected by environmental conditions.
Genetic variation can be seen through a DNA polymorphism. Genetic similarity in plants can be multiplied by
using data from morphological traits (Azrail, et al., 2003).Kinship may occur at multiple levels, namely the
kindship in the individual, in the population, or within a single species. Seed crop productivity may be also
determined by the magnitude of the secondary kinship plants, including corn population. Kinship corn plants
observed secondary is a character that might impact on the amount of the weight of corn seed. The existence of
varying characteristics can be identified visually from the morphological appearance (phenotype) and the deeper
analysis is through the variation in molecular, relating to variations in the protein and the genetic material
(DNA), both variations in DNA and proteins (Sutoro, et al, 2007).
This research aims at:
1. Observing the difference in the character of morphology on 10 corn populations (Zea mays L.) in Tidore
Islands of North Mollucas Province.
2. Observing the similarity index (similarity), corn (Zea mays L.) in 10 corn populations in Tidore Islands of
North Mollucas Province.
3. Observing the clusters (groups) formed on 10 corn populations (Zea mays L.) in Tidore Islands of North
Mollucas Province.
II. METHOD
This study was conducted in April 2013 in the City of Tidore Islands of North Mollucas Province. The
research was conducted on 10 places of 10 corn populations studied as follows: corn population in Tagalaya
village and Lifofa village located in the District of South Oba, population in the Koli and Tadupi villages
located in District of Oba, population in Yehu and Sumae villages located in District of Center Oba, population
in Kaiyasa and Kusu villages located in District of north Oba, and population in Togeme and Akeguraci
villages located in District of Oba.Research Procedures were as follows: (1) preparing for all the tools and
materials needed for research both for morphological observation; (2) determining the 10 corn populations
appointed as the objects of the research; (3) determining the morphological characters that would be used as the
reference in the research in relation to corn such as the differences in morphological characters, plant height,
crop length, leaf length and the width, and leaf sheath length; (4) providing the value for each character, a
character possessed by the population given the values 1 and 0 for the absence of the characters; (5) making
table for similarity index both in the form of matrix and dendogram. The data were collected through
descriptions of kinship analysis of 10 corn populations based on the morphological characters.

Based on the results of the binary data above, the value 1 and 0, where 1 = when the samples or
population meet the characters observed, while 0 = when the sample or the population do not have a character
that is observed. Based on Table 1 above, it can be inferred that the number of characters that obviously appear
from the outside consists of 49 characters. The similar characters of all 10 corn populations cover the color of
leaf and the leaf surface, leaf-shaped of tapered-end, the color green bark with a rough bark texture, green color
of corncob skin and yellow seeds. Of the 10 corn populations have the same 7 characters from the 49 characters
being observed. Thus there are 42 characters spread over 10 corn populations, giving rise to differences in
morphology that will be used to determine the kinship among the 10 corn populations. Of 49 characters is
observed by using Sorenson similarity index, where the obtained two major groups contained in Table 2.

This similarity index would be used to compare the same individuals in the population based on the
number of characters being observed (phenotypes). The similarity index in the form of the above figures
indicates that the degree of similarity or kinship in a growing population approaching 100% or a very high
similarity. Here is the description of the degree of similarity in the form of a dendogram similarity index of 10
corn population. The kinship analysis based on Kinship Index Value and morphology seen drawing 1.

III. DISCUSSIONS
Based on the results of in-depth analysis above by using 49 characters that have been presented in the
form of binary data, then it was calculated the Sorenson similarity index described in terms of a phylogenetic
tree in the from of dendogram or fenogram, then obtained six clusters (groups), those are the kinship among 10
corn populations. The six clusters can be described as follows:Cluster (group) I consists of corn population (3, 4,
and 8) that has a high degree of similarity compared with other population groups. This can be condluded from
the similarity index value of the same three populations, amounting to 87.21 %. All of three populations are
considered to have similar morphological aspects of 24 characters of which th similarities include: stamens at
least ≥ 8 and staments at most ˂ 15 and white color; green leaf color with leaf tip end-shape (tapered); the

For the corn population number 2 or populations (3, 8, 7, 6, 9, 10, 5, 4, 1, and 2) are the population
with the level similarity compared with the other populations is rather wide. This is becayse it has 13 characters
similar character of the available 49 characters. This population group has several differences with other
population groups, the difference lies in the nature of characters only between the other: the color of stamens is
red, while the other is white color, with sweet fruit flavors while the other is not sweet corn. The fewer the
number of population in such cluster (group) the more similar characters occur, for example in population
groups (3,4,8) that have the highest similarity index value = 87.21% similarity index value, this is close to the
value of 100%. Conversely, when the number of population in the cluster is bigger, the smaller the number of
characters that are similar, for example in the cluster populations 2 (3, 8, 7, 6, 9, 10, 5, 4, 1, and 2) that has
similarity index value of = 61.17%.The corn population (3, 4, and 8) from the Tadupi, Lola, and Koli villages
which has the highest similarity index among other 10 corn populations of the studied corns is considered of
sweet corn varietas (Zea Mays saccharata). While the population 2 or from Jehu village, the corn is considered
varietas where the flavor is not sweet or commonly called regular / pearl corn (Zea mays indurate).
According Rukmana and Yudirachman (2007) that the characteristic of sweet corn (Zea Mays
saccharata) consists of young luminous-colored seeds, as clear like glass, while the ripen seeds are dry and will
become wrinkled. The color of the stamens and the hair of sweet corncob are white and sweet. On the other
hand, the characteristics non-sweet corn or pearl corn (Zea mays indurate) seeds are roundish in shape and the
size is little smaller than the sweet corn; the seed color varies from white, yellow, and even red. The seed
surface is rather bright and harded, the seeds are not wrinkled when they dry, the color of hair and stamens are
red.The morphology of corn (Zea mays L.) of the 10 corn populations in Tidore Islands, there are variations in
terms of the length of leaf, plant height , fruit flavor, the color of stamens, corncob length, the number of
corncobs per plant, stem diameter, leaf midrib length, leaf length. The 10 corn populations observed shows 6
kinship groups in a row from the closest to the widest in terms of phenogram (dendogram) analysis in which the
cluster (3, 4, and 8) is a closely related group with the similarity index value of 87.21 %, having a very close
kinship from Tadupi, Lola, and Koli villages. While the widest kinship in the populations 2 (3, 8, 7, 6, 9, 10, 5,
4, 1, and 2) of Jehu village (Martasari et al., 2009).
If a population is grown in the same environmental conditions, the variations of the plants that emerge
is due to the differences in genetic composition if other factors are constant. The diversity of the plant phenotype
due to the differences in genetic compositions is always possible even the planting material used comes from the
same plant species (Sembiring, 2007).The emergence of the variations might be caused by two factors: the
environmental and genetic factors. If the genetic factors have stronger influence than the environmental factors,
the living things in different environment would not show any morphological variations. At the level of the
organism, the phenotype is something visible, observed, measured, something nature or character. The
vegetative and generative nature of the differences is determined by the analysis of variance. The differences
between cultivars seem to vegetative and generative characters, namely: the number of leaves, number of fruits,
and corncob diameter. On the other hand, the characters are like the plant height, corncob position and length,
although the number of leaves, number of panicles, and corncob diameter are different between cultivars. For
the other characters require further selection (Tanty Yunita et al., 2013).
IV. CONCLUSIONS
Based on the result of this research, there are some conclusions as follows:
[1] Based on the research on the 10 corn populations, it is reveal any number of characters of a population
consists of 49 characters derived from the general and specific characteristics of corn plants. This shows
that the population of each morphological character observed some of which are highly related in terms of
phenotype appearance.
[2] Kinship cluster of corn population (3, 4, and 8) all have high similarity so that cannot be easily
distinguished in terms of the level of kinship. The cluster populations that have a very high similarity index
values are those of the population (3, 4, and 8) with a similarity index value of = 87.21 % obtained from the
Tadupi, Lola, and Koli villages. This population similarity index value is approaching 100 % similarity
index value.
[3] Based on the analysis of phenogram, it is obtained that the widest kinship contained in cluster population 2
was derived from Jehu village. It is referred to the similarity index value of this population group that is
very low, amounting to 61.17 %.
